DFS8M
Wireless Smoke Sensor with sounder
Registration
Registration is the procedure associating the DFS8M to the control
panel. This operation requires a programming tool. The complete
procedure is described in the alarm central unit installation manual or in
the programming tool manual. Bellow are listed the main steps of the
registration procedure:
1. Connect the programming tool and start programming
2. Go to the „REGISTER‟ menu
3. Press the Radio button (see figure 2) or the Test&Hush (see figure 4)
on the device when prompted by the programming tool. The panel will
emit a confirmation beep. Warning: The detector plays fire siren.
4. Choose the operating mode and enter the label
5. Exit programming mode
Note: The detector must always be programmed in its final location with
a minimum radio level of 3 units on a scale of 10
Manually Testing your Smoke Detector
It is recommended to test the smoke alarm after installation and then at
least weekly to ensure the units are working. Press and hold the "Test &
Hush" button until the Alarm sounds and the red light flashes (see Figure
4). The Alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released.
WARNING 1: Do not test with flame. This can set fire to the Alarm
and damage the house. We do not recommend testing with smoke
as the results can be misleading unless special apparatus is used.
WARNING 2: Do protect your ears during the test.
"Test & Hush" button to Control Nuisance Alarms
The DFS8M has a combined "Test & Hush" button to help you control
nuisance/false alarms.
1. To cancel a false alarm, press the "Test & Hush" button (the sensor will
automatically switch to a reduced sensitivity condition). It will be silenced
for a period of approximately 10 minutes. The red light on the cover of the
Smoke Alarm will flash every 10 seconds (instead of 40 seconds) to
indicate that the unit has been silenced.
2. The device will reset to normal sensitivity at the end of the silenced
period (10 minutes). If additional silenced time is required, simply push
the "Test & Hush" button again.
Battery Replacement
A fresh Alkaline Battery should last for over a year. When the battery
power is low and replacement is necessary the smoke alarm will signal it
to the panel and locally: the device will "beep" and the red light will flash
at the same time about once per minute for at least 30 days. The battery
must then be replaced. Also, replace the battery if the Alarm does not
sound when the "Test & Hush" button is pressed. For maximum reliability,
replace the battery at least once a year. When you replace the battery
you must press the "Test & Hush" button to check that the Alarm is
functioning correctly. Only replace the battery with one of the following
alkaline batteries: Duracell MN1604, Energizer 6LR61, Philips 6LR61,
Varta 6LR61 or the Ultralife U9VL-J lithium battery. The lithium battery will
last longer than an alkaline battery.
Note: Prolonged exposure to low or high temperatures or high humidity
may reduce battery life. Prolonged periods of alarm will also reduce
battery life.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND HANDLING SAFETY WARNING: Risk of fire, explosion
and burns, do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100° C, or incinerate the bat - tery.
While the battery can normally be safely removed by hand, care should be used to ensure
that the battery terminals are not shorted, nor the battery damaged, during the removal
process. Dispose of depleted batteries by complying with applicable national and local
regulations. In the event of the battery being damaged, use personal protective equipment
to remove it immediately, and dispose of it in a safe manner (refer to the battery
manufacturer's specifications for such situations).
Maintenance
Clean the smoke head regularly. Use a soft bristle brush or the brush
attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove dust and cobwebs from the
side slots where the smoke/heat enters. To clean the cover, wipe with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

The smoke chamber in the smoke head automatically tests itself every 40
seconds. If the chamber is degraded it will beep without the red light
flashing at the same time. If this happens clean the unit. If the beeping
persists and the beep does not coincide with a red light flash, return the
unit.
Smoke sensors and particularly the optical (photoelectric) type are prone
to dust and insect ingress which can cause false alarms.
The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used
in the construction of this product to minimise the effects of contamination.
However it is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and
insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the Alarm you
must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up. Any
insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the Smoke Alarm should be promptly
removed.
In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, contamination can
build up in the smoke sensing chamber causing the alarm to sound. If this
happens the Smoke Alarm must be returned. Contamination is beyond our
control, it is totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear.
For this reason, contamination is not covered by the guarantee and a
charge is made for all such servicing work.
WARNING: Do not paint your Alarm.
Finally, device must be replaced after 10 years of operation (check the
"replace by" date marked on the side of the unit)
